If looks could kill, Ed Balls would be a dead man. Is it hate, fear, envy or a mixture of all three? Chancellor George Osborne glared daggers at his opposite number on the couch of the Andrew Marr Show on Sunday as the two traded blows over whether this week's budget will help the poor, the rich, the squeezed middle or anyone at all. Clearly you don't need to be a body language expert to spot that one of these men feels a little more confident than the other about their forthcoming clash in the Commons.

There are pages and pages to be written about the serious politics of it all. But for now a funny picture means just one thing: it's caption contest time. Can you come up with a better contender than the one above?
